Chapter 314

The girl did not answer.

Chen Fan said: "You don't need to be nervous. There are no cameras here; I just wanted to come over and have a chat with you."

"You also know that I can see through the secrets in your heart."

"Don't you want to know why I didn't expose you in front of those people?"

The girl was stunned for a moment, then asked very cautiously: "Expose me for what? I just came to report the crime... I didn't do anything."

Chen Fan said: "Did you really not do anything?"

"Then why did you go back to that house again? Was it because of guilt, so you went to find your friend's body?"

"If that were really the case, why didn't you call the police the first time you went, instead of choosing to report it only now?"

"Actually, when you went that time, it was to check if you had left any evidence behind, right?"

The girl still didn't admit it, instead saying: "You are slandering me. Why would I do that? I didn't do anything to her! I was just forced to bring my classmate there."

Seeing the girl being so stubborn, Chen Fan didn't intend to give her any more face.

From the very beginning, he had seen this secret in the girl's heart.

"Since that's the case, don't blame me for starting to talk. You also know that if it's discovered by the police, you lose the initiative, let alone wanting to use a surrender to reduce your own culpability."

"You were very jealous of that girl, right? She was so cute, and even though she was cautious at school, she still received a lot of attention."

"Including from the boy you were with. So you weren't forced; you actively brought that girl to them."

"Even until the moment of her death, you felt very satisfied."

The girl shook her head, saying: "No! I didn't! I didn't do that! Why would I be jealous of her? She isn't even as pretty as me!"

Chen Fan hadn't been suspicious at first, but upon hearing the girl say this, he suddenly had an idea.

He took out his phone, turned on the camera, and snapped a photo of the girl.

Feeling the flash, the girl immediately covered her head, not wanting to be photographed.

And she kept saying: "Don't take my picture, don't take my picture!"

This scene confirmed Chen Fan’s conjecture.

Chen Fan placed the photo he had taken in front of the girl and said: "Why don't you dare to look at yourself?"

"Don't you think you're very pretty? Pretty people never hate the flash, right?"

The girl squeezed her eyes shut, covering her face, not daring to look at herself in the photo at all.

"I won't look, I won't look, I just won't look!"

Chen Fan said: "You must look!"

Chen Fan touched the girl’s shoulder, and soon the girl lost the ability to control her own body.

She sat blankly on the chair, but her brain was still able to think.

Chen Fan pulled her arms down and forced her to open her eyes.

At this moment, she finally saw what she looked like.

In the mirror, it was a fat face; although relatively fair, it was covered in freckles.

This face, while not ugly, was definitely not as good-looking as the girl who had died.

"No... no... this isn't me!"

The girl was agitated, but she couldn't move; she could only express her emotions with words.

"Don't deny it, this is you, this is the real you!"

"You were simply jealous of that girl, so you brought her to those three men."

"You watched them insult that girl in front of you, and you even killed her with your own hands! You are the murderer!"

Every word of Chen Fan’s was like rubbing salt into the girl’s wounds.

It stimulated the girl to gasp for air, her eyes filled with nothing but terror.

"I... I didn't mean to... I really didn't mean to..."

"I just saw that she was too pitiful and wanted to find her a job. You wanted her to end her own suffering."

"I really didn't..."

The girl was immersed in her own pain, unable to extricate herself for a long time.

Chen Fan did not continue to press her; the human body has its limits.

Now that the three murderers had not yet been caught, the only clue was this girl.

Chen Fan stimulating her now was just to make her see herself clearly.

Chen Fan walked out of the girl’s room, not expecting Li Tian and Old Song to be waiting for him at the door.

"Did you ask anything?"

Li Tian inquired.

He had already sent three teams out to search for the three men, so everyone was now focusing on this reporting girl.

Chen Fan said: "What else could I ask? It was just to make her recognize herself."

"When she first came to report the crime, it was very strange; it was that feeling of self-deception. I don't know if you felt it."

You think we are you?

Li Tian and Old Song both rolled their eyes: "How could we tell? Even the most experienced criminal police in front of you can't compare to you."

Chen Fan said: "Don't praise me anymore. If you praise me, I'll only laugh even more happily!"

Hahaha.

Liu Mengyan, standing nearby, was amused.

Li Tian expressed that he was speechless.

"Indeed, nothing has been gained yet. It needs some time to let the girl inside calm down."

"I'll leave the rest to you. Things are roughly as I guessed."

"As for the details, it can only depend on the girl herself to speak them out."

Chen Fan said.

Li Tian and Old Song looked at each other and nodded.

Just as Chen Fan was about to leave.

Li Tian’s phone suddenly rang. After answering the call, Li Tian’s expression was quite serious.

Old Song thought a new case had arrived and asked: "Did something happen again?"

Li Tian shook his head and hurriedly stopped Chen Fan: "Wait a moment, don't leave yet. The call just now said that someone found the remaining body parts, but it cannot be confirmed if they belong to the victim."

"So we still need you forensic experts to assist."

Chen Fan was a bit surprised.

After all, the incident happened two months ago, and even the skin and flesh on the skull had been eaten by insects.

It was very likely that the body had long been used as fertilizer by the creatures in nature.

That the body was actually found was indeed beyond Chen Fan’s expectations.

But this also made Chen Fan excited.

"Let's go, what are you standing there for? Go to the scene!"

Chen Fan said.

Because there was new progress in the case, the cameraman followed again.

This time, everyone arrived in the suburbs, at a relatively remote residential area.

Calling it a residential area is actually similar to an urban village, because their houses are very old.

The houses are not high, a bit like the old tube-shaped apartment buildings.

There are many vacant lots near the residential area, all of which have been reclaimed by the residents to grow vegetables.

Those body parts were dug up by one of the residents.

Upon arriving at the scene.

Everyone looked at the bag of body parts. The body was packed in a plastic bag; because the material was special, there was no stench of decay.

If it hadn't been accidentally dug up by a resident, it would likely have just rotted there.

Chen Fan put on his gloves, walked over himself, and opened the bag.

The moment it was opened.
